“He’s a pretty confident kid, borderline cocky, but you kind of like that in a quarterback. Guys understood that we needed to rally all around him and guys needed to make plays. The huddle got tighter, and that’s kind of what happened.

Guys understood that we had a young guy coming in there, his first play, trying to come in and win a game. The huddle clearly got tighter, guys rallied around him and tried to help him out as best we could.”

This has potential to be a big week in the division for the Giants if they can go down to Philly and grab a W. It would put them 2-0 in the division, with all 3 in-division home games left. And with Dallas traveling to Seattle, and hopefully losing, a win this week will put them right in the mix to grab the division.

it would be freaking huge to go into the bye week at 5-2 and on a 5 game tear. Coming out of the bye they have three playoff teams with Colts, 49ers and Seahawks. Although, I think the Giants match up surprisingly well with the Seahawks...
